CAP SPINNING FRAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 284,549, datedSeptember 4, 1883.

' Application filed November- 4, 1882. (No model.)

Spinning and Twisting, of whichthe following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relatesto certain improvements in cap spinning frames;and it has for its objects to render theparts between which the yarnpasses on its wayto the bobbin more durable than heretofore, and toproduce a more uniform and smoother yarn. These obj ects we accomplishby the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure1 is a side elevation of our invention, partly in section; and Fig. 2 isa detail of-the upper end of the standard D, showing the manner ofadjusting the ring K.

The letterA indicates the spindle, having a screw, 13, at its lower end,by means of which it may be adjustably secured to the spindlerail of thespinning-machine. To the said spindle is secured the collar 0 of avertical standard, D, the said collar setting over the spindle, andhaving a clamping-screw, E, by means of which it may be secured inposition. a

The letter F indicates the sleeve, which consists of ahollowtube havingthe usual whirl,G, at its lower end,which rests upon thelifter rail It,so that the vertical reciprocating motion of the rail will becommunicated to the sleeve and bobbin in the usual manner. The saidsleeve is arranged to rotate upon the spindle in the ordinary manner,and is adapted to carry the usual bobbin, H, upon which the yarn iswound. The upper end of the standard' D is slotted, as indicated, andhasadjustably secured to it, by means of the clampingscrew 1, a ring, K,which encircles the bob bin, sleeve, and spindle.

The letter L indicates the cap, which is secured to the upper end of thespindle in the ordinary manner. The lower end of the cap has secured toit, by brazing or any other suitable manner, a hard steel ring, M, andthe adjustable ring K, before mentioned, is also the standard, where itmay be retained by the clamping-screw, so as to bring it nearer to or.farther from the collar M. The capLis made with its sides or inner andouter walls paral- 1 lel, continuing so past the junction of thehardened ring M, so that the cap, joint, and

ring present a regular unbroken surface, both inside and out, and inpractice the ring is really a regular continuation of the cap. Thus oldor cracked metalcaps may have steel rings secured to their edges,so asto prevent any far ther crackingor breaking.

Having thus set forth our invention, what we claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, withthe spindle, of the vertical slotted standardand the adjustable hardened steel ring secured to its upper end, anddevices for holding said standard and its ring in their adjustedpositions, as and for the purpose specified.

2. The combination, with the spindle and cap having a steel-faced loweredge or ring, of the sleeve and whirl, the slotted standard andadjustable hardened ring, and devices for holding the said standard andring in their adjusted position, as and for the purpose specified..

In testimony whereof we afiiX our signatures in presence of twowitnesses. THOMAS HALL J AMES NEWTON.
